Sledding

A perfect day for sledding – 
Lots of snow, but not too cold.
Though Henry tackled hills, his sister
Wasn’t quite as bold.

So I pulled her sled behind me,
As she laughed, on level ground,
While Henry and his dad (my son)
Were bravely downward-bound.

The kids were beaming, filled with joy,
By heeding winter’s call,
But I’d swear their sledding daddy
Had the most fun of us all.

I would love to go sledding! Nice winter ode. I completed my article and e -mailed it in. If you feel like it check out the poems of Barbara Hantman - she is not on poetry soup. She writes a poem about every Jewish holiday - she has one on Purim out now. I probably will fill up on hamnetashen this time. Just finished reading a novel that Theodore Herzl wrote. It was quite thought provoking - it is called Altneuland. B'Shalom Matthew Anish
